Saggingor Lax Skin

Sagging or Lax Skin

Aging, UV exposure, and gravity are the most common causes of skin sagging. With age, the body loses collagen and elastin, which are responsible for making skin firm and youthful. Muscles also deteriorate with age, leaving skin less taut, especially in the facial region. Loss of volume in our face (primarily fat), thinning skin, smoking, and weight loss also contribute to sagging skin.

As a result, skin can sag as the forces of gravity act to create droopiness, wrinkles and bands. This can be thought of as excess skin and is similar in concept to a dress that becomes too large as its owner loses weight. Just like wearing that dress, you may struggle to feel confident and beautiful. Advances in technology have made minimally invasive skin-tightening procedures a reality.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

With advances in technology, facial skin tightening procedures have become more and more popular because they provide a scalpel-free alternative to more invasive procedures.

ULTHERAPY

Ultherapy, the only FDA approved treatment cleared to lift the deep structural support layers of the skin, employs the latest advancements in high intensity focused ultrasound technology. A noticeable lifting of sagging facial features and neck skin, as well as a reduction of the jowls, is achieved by:

Tightening and lifting the underlying muscle facia in the face and neck

Stimulating collagen production to tighten the skin

The result? Tighter, better-fitting skin, even on the neck.

Our patients have found Ultherapy’s ultrasound technology to be more effective for tightening the skin than devices such as Thermage CPT and Titan.

Laser resurfacing

Laser resurfacing treatments offer an alternative approach for tightening skin with the added benefit of treating sun damaged skin, inelasticity, brown spots and other pigment problems, large pores, and other skin tone and texture issues. When you visit Sante for your consultation, we’ll perform a thorough examination and have a frank conversation about your goals to ultimately determine the perfect treatment plan to get you glowing again.
